Notes

Represented by our BUD.1.1, in three sections of uncertain numeration. See catalogue description below.

Section 1:

Three images/pages, in double columns. First is a table in Italian with works by Seneca and Cicero (Tully), many but not all works given later numbers on the side. Mention at one point of the Sacred Hill (Colle Santo).

Film Section 2:

Two images/pages, in double columns. Text.

Film Section 3:

Middle page features a fine and intricate drawing of Theodosius (though see Lehmann in bibliography) on horseback, wearing an elaborate headdress (apparently of feathers), a stylized toga over armor and a skirt/kilt (φουστανέλα). He holds a cross-topped orb in his left hand, with the right arm raised to the level of his head (though the right hand is obscured). Above the back of the horse, "fon(s)" and above and below mane, "Gloriae Perennis"; back of the horse "Theo" and front "dosi(us)".

For the emperor as possessor of both arma et toga, cf. the Prima Porta statue of Augustus.

Notes on the side in Arabic, dated Anno Hegirae 1294 (=A. Dom. 1877/8).
